Completion of RUN1 and RUN2 Space Moss experiments!

In summer and winter of 2019, we completed Space Moss experiments, where the moss Physcomitrella patens is grown for about one month on the International Space Station, Japanese Experiment Module, KIBO. The moss tissues grown in space has been safely recovered in 2020, January and we are analyzing them to understand how microgravity affects grown and development in plants. We, Space Moss,  greatly appreciate this collaboration. Thank you very much for all of your efforts.

We watched ISS growing the moss from our campus with naked eyes!
